Charming Southern Novel

Saving CeeCee Honeycutt, by Beth Hoffman came highly recommended to me and I recommend it to you. It is a wonderful and entertaining novel about a sad little girl who lived with and took care of her mentally ill mother but was eventually scooped up by her great aunt Tootie and taken to Savannah, GA, to live in a wonderful restored historic house. There are all the eccentric Southern characters you could want to find, pulling stunts that will make you smile, including a cook, Oleta, who assumes the role of CeeCee's first friend and caregiver. I was sorry to finish this book after being totally involved with the characters, the story and the setting.
